Saturday's Sound Off

To the person complaining about the 90 percent of registered voters who didnít go out and vote and shouldnít complain, maybe there was nobody to vote for, nobody worth voting for. The same thing with the presidency, we really didnít want Barack Obama in there but who wanted the other one? He would have been worse. You keep saying about vote for change but all you do is change the identity of the person but not the way they go about things.

I work on Main Street in Spring City and travel Bridge Street to and from work every day and four of us at work have gotten screws and nails in our tires traveling that street. If anybody else has had this problem in the last couple months, please contact Spring City Police at 610-948-3456 so we can figure out why this is happening.

FLATTENED

I was at the Relay For Life the other day and I did not see PCTV there. I might have missed them but if they were not there, I wonder why they werenít there. Mark Pollock was always there supporting Relay For Life.

I never had cable, never will. When TV went digital, I bought a converter box for $10 and rabbit ears for $25. I get 34 perfect channels on my old console TV. Depending on the weather, you might have to adjust them. Donít buy the $10 rabbit ears, buy better (DUY). So for a $35 one-time investment I have perfectly clear TV. Go for it. I mean, how many channels can you watch?

On Monday in Pottstown Mascaro did not dump all my red trash bin. Reported, they came back, walked in my yard, dumped a can of yard waste awaiting Wednesday pick up and ignored the red trash bin at the curb. This is quality service?

RADICAL

I have two ignorant and inconsiderate neighbors who constantly drain, flush or overfill their pools and flood my yard making it impossible to mow my lawn without leaving large grooves from the wheels on my mower. The local codes officer is at best ineffective in stopping it from recurring despite numerous calls. Anyone out there have any suggestions to help?

ANGRY AND FRUSTRATED

When seniors are losing their homes, people have to go to charity shelters to get enough food and the military needs coupons for their families to exist, how dare these politicians ask for a raise. They do nothing for this country. And stop those illegal immigrants from coming in, itís only going to make matters worse. You canít understand them, they bring in dope, they increase the crime rate. Canít some politician have enough nerve to fight this?

I want to remind people during the upcoming hot weather to leave your pets at home. Donít bring them to the store. People leave their windows down a crack and according to the SPCA your dog could have brain damage within 10 minutes. The heat builds up that quick. If you put the windows all the way down, you have to worry about people stealing your animals. Itís just not safe. And if theyíre outside pets, have a shady spot and fresh cold water.

Iím looking for the phone number of any organization who would take expired coupons for soldiers to use in the PX.

CONCERNED VETERAN

I would like to know where I could get rid of tires?

DOUGLASSVILLE

I was reading the story of the police officer from Royersford who has cancer of the blood. My brother-in-law had myelodysplastic syndrome which can come from a chemical or even smoking. We have so much cancer and neurological disorders in the Pottstown area. After attending a hearing that the NRC had recently, I learned that the NRC is supposed to protect us and they donít seem interested in doing that. Wake up and see whatís really going on.

DISGUSTED

State. Rep. Mark Painter, we put you in there to represent the people. I expect to have this property tax issue on the books and have it abolished. Thereís no reason why you canít put it in there. Itís been on the books and tried to put through before. Now Mr. Quigley is out and youíre in there. Take up the slack and do what youíre supposed to do ó reform property tax. Us seniors are losing everything. Please put that through as soon as possible on our behalf.

For all those complaining about Fox News, apparently youíre watching it or you wouldnít know whatís on and apparently you donít like that theyíre telling the truth or you wouldnít be complaining about it. Thatís the only station on anymore where you get the truth and you have discussion between the liberals and conservatives. Not like some shows on the regular channels, all they have on are liberals.
